Scrum Link List

As I've been talking about the Scrum software development process framework and its associated terms and phrases like agile, velocity, productivity, reduced defect rate, I have collected some great links.

Getting up to Speed on Scrum

After reading the definition on Wikipedia, I recommend watching Jeff Sutherland's presentation at: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/AgileEnterpriseRealWorldExperience

It presents real industry data and case studies that demonstrate how teams have transformed themselves by introducing agile practices using Scrum. It will definitely make you want to learn more.

Audio Lessons:

These three introductions to Scrum by Ken Schwaber are excellent. They give you very clean and clear definitions of what the major aspects of Scrum are. Listen while you jog, listen while you drive, but just listen:
